Antar's Videorama & Trade Thread

Official Data Miner

Hiya, folks! Been a long-time breeder and Smogon member, but I've never put the time into making a trade thread until now, so here goes.

ABOUT ME
I'm a Youtube battler primarily, and that's where I spend most of my time (link to my channel is in my sig--no reason to post it again). With a few rare exceptions, the pokemon I breed are for a purpose (usually for a new team). As such, where I can, I will provide links to videos that show my breeds in action. I RNG, and I am pleased as punch that Standard RNG abuse got so easy this gen. I shamelessly back up my save files, which means most of my pokemon are available UT and often as eggs as well. The only time I ever use Pokesav is to read the stats of my pokemon and to (occasionally) give myself infinite items on a save file I'm only using temporarily. Most of my pokemon are EV trained and raised using Infinite Wings and Candies acquired this way. I also sometimes use the AR codes for Box Cloning and Fast Egg hatching. If you don't approve of these methods, DON'T GO JUST YET! I may be able to offer you a UT or underlevelled option that is more "legitimate." Naming services are usually available. In addition, most of my UT pokemon are unnamed.

I'm available to trade most weekdays between 9am and 4pm Eastern US time.

Friend Code is in the sig. If we need to do a 4th Gen trade for whatever reason, I'll provide the relevant one at the time.

PWN2OWN
Once I get this thread up and running, I plan on taking what I call "pwn2own" challenges, in which you challenge me to a battle (you must have your own trade thread), and whoever wins gets one of the pokemon their opponent used in the match (redis rights decided ahead of time). If you're interested, feel free to post.

THE RULES

The obvious (no hacked pokemon, no spamming, no flaming, etc.)

Respect the redis rights. Don't trade me pokemon that you are not allowed to, and don't trade MY pokemon if I haven't given you the rights. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, RIGHTS ARE SEMI-REDIS (you may trade, the person you trade to may not). Also, Eggs are ALWAYS non-redis.

Unless you specify otherwise, I will assume you want the highest level variant. Most are available at Lv. 100, but make sure to ask if you care--I can always hack some rare candies and level it up quickly.

I do not accept pokemon that were acquired through Pokecheck (if you clone your own pokes through it or other fake-gts services, that's fine).

As per the Wi-Fi forum rules, I do not accept trades in the form of .pkm files. Direct, wi-fi room trades only.

More will (hopefully not have to be) added as needed.

ABOUT THIS TRADE THREAD

ORGANIZATION
Pokemon in my thread are sorted into one of several categories, and I don't use the conventional region or tier sorting schemes. If you're looking for a specific pokemon, Ctrl-F is your friend.

Not Mine.

Trophy Case. My best RNGs. These pokemon are not redistributable, and I'll probably only accept a trade for one of these if it's something I really want.

Little Cup. These pokemon are bred (and, for the most part, EV'd) for Little Cup play.

Not RNG'd. These are some of my better non-RNG breeds/captures. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

Veterans. These pokemon are all EV'd for combat and have all seen action (or will soon enough). You can usually find examples of them kicking ass on my Youtube channel.

Rookies. I have (or had) a plan for these pokemon, but I haven't yet used them on a team. As such, most are only available UT. Doesn't mean they're any less awesome--many are simply shiny variants of pokemon that I preferred to use as non-shiny.

Benchwarmers. My inferior breeds, captures and RNGs. These are all fully redistributable, and I probably won't ask very much of you if you want one.

LAYOUT
My pokemon are presented in the following format:

[Sprite]
[Species] / Nick: "[Nickname--naming services are usually available]" / [Gender] / [Nature]
Available [if available as egg, UT or any level besides 100, it'll be listed here]
IVs: [Format: HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe]
Egg moves: [4th gen move tutor moves as well]
EVs: [Same as above--obviously doesn't apply to UT]
[Miscellaneous things such as ability, where it was hatched, things like that.]
Showing off: [Links to Youtube videos where this particular build did well will be included here... eventually]​

Victini / Nick: "Victini" / Adamant
Available UT, Lv. 50
IVs: 31/31/31/3/31/31
Egg moves: V-Create; Fusion Bolt; Fusion Flare
EVs:Hacked Japanese Wondercard on English Cart
It has a Japanese OT but an English name.
Still, it passes Nintendo hack checks, so it's up to you.

Shaymin / Nick: "Wash" / Modest
Available UT, Lv. 100
IVs: 31/20/30/31/31/31
EVs: 0/0/0/252/4/254
Heal Ball; HP Ice 68; Met 3/3/2009
I learned to use EonTimer for this. As far as I've been able to determine,
this is the only Modest HP Ice Shaymin currently available on Smogon
(if I'm wrong, please give me a link). There's an HP Ice 70 frame that
I might try to go for at some later point, but it's so high that I ever get
it, it'll be Cold Dead Hands.

BENCHWARMERS
Some predate when I learned to RNG, some were intermediate steps for breeding projects. In any case, all are fully redistributable, and I may even give you one for nothing more than a patrat.

CSV->Trade Thread Script
Long before I had my trade thread up-and-running, I kept a database of my "trade-worthy" pokemon in a Google Docs spreadsheet. When I decided to make myself a trade thread, rather than dig through sprite databases and lay everything out, one by one by hand, I decided I'd write a Python script instead.

If it's of interest to you, feel free to pilfer it, use it and modify it to your heart's content.

Codes and Hacks
I use the following methods to obtain Pokemon. Note that I don't use every method for every Pokemon. If you have any concerns, feel free to ask--generally the UT versions are the most "legit."

I clone primarily by making backups of my save files

I use Pokesav to verify stats. I do not use Pokesav to modify stats in any way.

I will occasionally use the Quick Hatch and IV/EV check Action Replay codes on occasion.

I use Pokesav to hack for infinite items (Rare Candies, PP Max, Shards and Wings).

For a few Pokemon I have used Real-Time Saves to assist in RNGing. This is in many ways equivalent to using an emulator. When I use this method, I note it in the entry.

I will occasionally use hacked wondercards (legitimate wondercards hacked into the game). This is always noted.

I have used the Hidden Hollows Instant Regenerate code. This is noted.

The following only apply to battles:

I will use Pokesav to change my trainer's gender/name depending on the team. This is purely for recording purposes.

I may use Pokegen to change a Pokemon's forme in BW2 (namely for the Therian formes) since I don't currently have access to Dream Radar (and thus can't get a legit Landorus-T and thus can't get the Reflecting Mirror).
